If you find yourself too self-conscious to even entertain the thought of getting a shoe shine in public, this wall-mountable kit makes it easy to keep the polish on your wing-tips when you're buffing them at home.

Instead of trying to prop your shoes on a table or your lap that's going to inevitably get covered in polish, you attach this bracket to a wall, slide the shoe mount on and then slip your best dress kicks onto the holder. You can then buff your way to a mirror finish without having to worry about cleaning up the aftermath. And at just $32, it's cheaper than replacing your pants or renting a carpet cleaner every time you have to deal with an unsightly scuff. [Garrett Wade]
